DISK II is a full-length series of unreleased ambient music from Matthewdavid compiled since Vol.1 (2008-2012), burned to CDr, then housed in a hand-painted 5 & 1/4″ floppy disk. The nine-track collection features the friendships of Eola, Run DMT, Speculator, and a live performance on KXLU.
Los Angeles has for years been one of the most futurist electronic music cities on this planet. But even for a city of the quality and quantity as LA, 2011 has been an outstanding year of releases and performances.
Behind the household names of Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Gaslamp Killer, Ras G, Samiyam, Daddy Kev and Nosaj Thing, swarms a myriad of boutique musicians as Baths, Shlohmo, Free the Robots, Matthewdavid, Jonwayne, Asura, Kone and ELOS - and there are many more.
A grand transatlantic salute to Brainfeeder, Alpha Pup, Non Projects, FoF, Leaving, and all the other labels holding it down in Los Angeles, for staying the course in supporting and sharing Zeitgeist surfing electronic music.
2011 has been your year. We look forward to seeing all of our friends in Amsterdam soon again.

This is the first show on Red Bull Music Academy Radio. It marks the return of our show, that is in its fourth year now. In this time it has gone from the early stages of dubstep (Kode9, Digital Mystikz, Loefah), through experimental beat music (Flying Lotus, Dimlite, Hudson Mohawke) up to the point that every artist is his own genre. This is where we stand now, navigating the map of new developments in electronic music.
